Before a road trip, I noticed that my battery was low and the truck would not start. I jump-started the truck and began driving on the freeway. While driving, I suddenly felt a strong yank in the steering and received a notification to service the steering system. The yank was so severe that it nearly caused me to lose control of the truck and crash. It is alarming that this appears to be a known issue, as it puts families at serious risk. If it weren’t for my quick reaction, my 8-year-old child could have been seriously injured.

My truck will not start, it won't even turn on.it continuously says check the fuel cap and the check engine light will turn on but absolutely nothing is wrong with it (before it started to act up). Even though it seems like the batteries dead and we know it won't turn on it's still making a loud like clicking or knocking noise. It will stop for a minute and then start again. I've never heard a car do that before so I don't think that's normal. My clicker key won't even work to lock or unlock or even set the panic off.

On 3 separate occasions, while driving and attempting to stop, the engine stalls. A message displays to "put the vehicle in park, to start", but lost power to everything else. Twice it allowed me to start from park, the 3rd time it would not start. I put it in park, had my foot on the brake, but it did nothing. I shut if off completely, then turned it back on and it started. Additionally, while parked, the driver's side door would not unlock with the keyfob. All other doors unlocked, not the driver's door. I tried several times locking/unlocking, I had to open the rear door and manually pull the lock knob. One other time, while sitting still, the driver's door unlocked itself, when my roommate pulled on the door handle, the door opened and the alarm went off. On another occasion, I was trying to back into my parking space, I went to pull up to straighten out, and the vehicle would not go into drive. I had to shift into park, then back to drive to make it work.

I first noticed that, while in drive, the transmission would shift to 4th gear and could not be changed. I could shift from park to reverse but when I tried to go to drive it would go to 4th gear. Then, 2 days ago, I began to notice other problems that appeared to be computer related. When I turned the ruck off there would be a ticking noise in the engine. I checked and it appeared to be the A/C/ compressor. Then it stopped when I unlocked the truck doors. Then I noticed what seemed to be the fuel pump ticking as if calling for fuel. Once again, the engine was off and, once again, it stopped. The next morning my battery was dead. I tried to jump it with no luck so I purchased e new battery. Now when I try to start it, the starter makes all kind of crazy noises and it won't start.

Dodge ram 1500 key fob will not start the vehicle. The fob is not reliable, as it has failed yearly since we owned the vehicle. We fear that failure to start poses a safety hazard, as the vehicle could not be removed from a dangerous situation if it stalls.

When in park and turned off going to start the truck it will not start and states the truck is not in park. It will take several times trying to start giggling the gear knob to get the truck to start. Its random does not happen with any set circumstances such as using auto start prior to starting with key. This has been happening in and off for a year woth more frequent issues. I took into shop while covered under warrenty about 4 times or so for this issue they claim they cant find a problem and cant fix unless it happens while they have the vehicle.

Truck shut off while driving on the interstate. There was a message on the dash stating "wrong key fob". I had an occasion when I first got the truck where the ignition key was no longer reconized and would not start the truck. At this time, the truck was still under the factory warranty and a new key was given to me so I had two working ignition keys. I was a little uneasy of only having one key on me and for the next several months, always had a spare ignition key on me. While driving last week, the truck shut off, flashed the wrong key fob message, and I pulled to the side of the interstate. I tried using my spare key, and the truck started right up and drove normally. The original key I was using no longer works, and I will have to go to the dealer to purchase a new one. The dealer tells me this is not uncommon and that they have to program new keys everyday. There is an obvious fault with the sentry system they are using and I hope they can issue a recall before someone is killed.

The vehicle start with the remote but when the key was put in and turned to run. The dash said turn key to run. As the key was already in the run position I wiggled the shifter and it turned off. The dash stated remote was disabled and to reset start vehicle. I tried to restart the truck but it would not start. The truck parked was in my drive way at the time. I believe the fault is the total integrated power module (tipm).
